How is that technically not april fools anymore? If you're talking about the same 8 pm I do, then it was on the first of April.

Some of the April Fools names are rather funny. For example, Touch Sonic the Hedgehog, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia XXX and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers Extreme.

This was a wonderful AF prank. Harmless, easy, fun for everyone, and clever. I got some laughs out of a few of my Festivania titles. The Legend of Castlevania Legends was a good one.

I loved my Game Center CX: Arino no Chousenjou: The Movie: The Game...as it would have to be a game based on a movie based on a game based on a non-fictional (which makes it even more absurd) tv show that's based on playing games.

@ Yogurt: How come I don't see you at the Backloggery streams anymore? Don't tell me you just went there to become MotW at some point.

...and no, that last part isn't meant serious.

Unfortunately, yes, but I don't follow that rule.

I haven't been at the streams lately because, alternately, I haven't had the time (been busy) or else they've been streaming games I intend to play and don't want spoiled. I don't think my stream-watchin' had anything to do with MotW, though, considering I didn't do much even when I was there. I'd like to get back to them

Yesterday's stream was hilarious as Try started off with Super C as he intended, suddenly switching to Superman 64 at some point and sticking with it for the rest of the evening. After that I can honestly tell he's got way more patience than me. ^^

He had a lot more patience with Super Man 64 than the AVGN did in his video. I kinda hope they do some more live streams of bad games every once in a while.

The AVGN obviously aimed at sucking at Superman 64. He made it look even way more broken than it really is...which is kind of an achievement, I guess.

Thanks for reminding me: The generator turned my "Silent Hill: The Escape" into "Silent Hill: The Escape Kart", which I thought to be rather hilarious.

And the Superman episode of the AVGN sure was awesome.

I'm loving it. ^^
It's certainly special among all those Persona-banners at the backloggery...

Wow, can I put a "Beaten" thing in my BL for reading this entire thread? Ah, I'm just kidding, it didn't take very long at all.

But uh yeah, my Backloggery name is TidesofChaos. I'm planning on doing an RPGfest but I'm wondering if Zelda is considered an RPG or not. Thoughts?
EDIT: Added everyone on the first page.

I'd say Zelda's not an RPG.

Also, add all those games you brag about not having on there!

Heh, well I guess it'll be an RPG/Zelda fest!

Oh, and don't you worry about that. I'm (slowly) adding my games.

Man, I fail at finishing any of games, even with Backloggery. I need an extra incentive........hmm...............hey, how about I bet someone that I owe them a VC game if I don't finish Kingdom Hearts by the end of the month? (heh, of course, they wouldn't owe me anything if I made it, it would just be a one-way bet)
